      I have a book with 8 pages which I offer free on my site:

      http://www.pottytrainingchart4kids.com/free-potty-training-book/

      For technical reasons each of the 8 pages are on a seperate page. This might cause thin content/duplicate content since most of the code is the same besides the images and there isn't much on each page.

      How would you suggest I deal with this? I remember once reading about rel prev or something like that but I am not sure if it is applicable. I would like all page rank to go to the main page. Should I add no index to the other pages? I am not really sure what I should do to prevent a Panda penalty.

      Thanks in advance!

        I would use rel =previous and rel next, this is what they are for. I would not noindex them, any links pointing to a noindex page waste their link juice

            You could move them all to one page and add some text content around them.
